No crowds. No polish. Just the hills.
This is not a resort. It is a plain home on a hill, surrounded by coffee plantation, with no one around but birds. Here is what to expect.
Hills, birds and nobody else
Plantation on all four sides and no neighbours. You will feel like you have the whole hill to yourself, with birdsong from morning to dusk.
Switch off, slow down
Come for a digital detox. Put the phone away and let the days follow the light. We do have Wi-Fi if you really need it, but nothing here asks for your attention.
Not renovated, on purpose
We have not renovated or modernised the house. It is kept as it has always been, a lived-in family home, not a styled-up property.
Feel local, not commercial
No resort-style gloss, no packaged experiences. You get a simple village and plantation stay, the way people here actually live.
Real quiet, far from the road
We are deep inside the hills, away from main roads and crowds. The nearest restaurant is 4 km down the hill, so evenings are slow and unhurried.
What you see is what you get
Simple comforts, honestly described. If you want luxury, this is not the place. If you want to feel far from the city, it is.
You are staying inside an ecosystem
The homestay sits high on the hills, with a small pond near the main gate and a hilltop right in front of the balcony. Nature here is not a day trip. It is all around you, day and night.
Wild visitors at the pond, every night
After dark, animals come to the pond near the main gate. Bison, deer, wild boar and many others visit through the night. The place is safe, and you can watch them from your stay.
A sky full of stars
With no city lights for miles, the night sky on the hills is dark and clear. Step outside after dinner and look up at the stars.
A hilltop from your balcony
One of the hilltops is very close by and can be seen from the balcony. Have your morning tea with that view in front of you.
One homestay, three ways to stay
Suraksha Homestay is a single family home on the hill. Choose the stay that suits your trip.
Why stay at our homestay in Chikmagalur
Evenings by the Bonfire

Nature’s Lullaby
Escape the cacophony of the city. The only sounds are the rustle of leaves, the gurgle of our water pond, and distant calls of wild animals.
From Home to Homestay
Our homestay is a labor of love, transforming a humble home into a welcoming haven for travelers, with the essence of homemade comfort in every corner.
